Organizational structures: Necessary scaffolding for cohesive work. Clear command lines. Clarity’s guardian.
But what happens when the scaffold is ignored?
Breakdowns are catastrophic in life-or-death scenarios – military ops, surgeries, and rescue missions.
Structures maintain flow, provide direction, enable efficient messaging, and increase accountability.
Until someone higher up decides to play hopscotch with the chain of command.
Suddenly, it’s a group call. Who’s on? Who’s talking? Who’s deciding?
Leaders, your involvement is appreciated. But is it bypassing the chain? That’s organizational sabotage.
You’re not empowering. You’re disempowering and not clarifying. Confusing.
Respect the structure. Or watch your organization crumble, one mixed message at a time.
